Georgia Gold Peanuts

3/4 cup sugar

1 Tbsp. water

3 Tbsp. orange juice

1 tsp. grated orange rind

2 1/2 cups salted peanuts

* 1/2 tsp. gold luster dust, optional

Combine the sugar, water and orange juice and blend thoroughly. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally to 238 degrees on candy thermometer or to soft-ball stage. Remove from heat and add orange rind and peanuts. Stir lightly to coat peanuts with glaze. Turn out at once onto waxed paper and separate peanuts with a fork. Cool completely and place in zip-loc bag, sprinkle with gold dust and shake bag. Place in a pint size jar.
